Atlanta Ave south of the railroad, and especially the portion between Ashe and Cohen (then known as B through D Streets), seem to have been the black neighborhood. The only businesses shown at all on the 1921 map were a tiny group of wooden stores on the east side, north of 20th. I doubt this was further south. The map ends at about the intersection with 17th, and there are very few structures.
